LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1838. The division on Lord ELIOT'S motion last night was equally unexpected and proper. We can sympathize with Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALMERSTON, who mutt have desired to defend the Ministers from the idle charges of the Tories ; but we cannot admit that the public time is to be wasted even by their vindication. The House of Commons is perhaps to blame for entertaining such a mo tion at all, after the affairs of Spain have been so repeat edly discussed ; but it was quite right to cut the matter short when it had the opportunity. As to the Tories, we scarcely know in what terms to speak of them, who com menced the debate—refused to carry it on—called for a division because the unpractised eye of a new leader assured him :that his friends were in a majority—and when they are defeated, railed at their opponents. The Tory Member, who was by agreement with Sir ROBERT PEEL to have commenced the debate, is said by the Chronicle to have been in the House before the division ; and it is hinted that In left it in order to give his friends an easy victory, without inflicting on them the pain of his speech. Sir ROBERT PEEL was anxious to escape that, for he did not enter the House for half an hour after his friend was to have commenced, and when it might be supposed he was about to finish. The gentleman who entered into this agreement with Sir ROBERT PEEL is not precisely known, the honour being disputed by those two hopeful aspirants to Tnry fame, Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS and Mr. MILNES ; but we are inclined to believe that the former was the man. He will learn by the result the ne cessity of punctuality, and the value of Sir ROBERT'S comnliments. 'Whig, Tory, and Radical—everyone, indeed, whom we have heard mention the subject, condemn, not as irregular, but as the height of absurdity, the attempt of the Tories to renew a debate on a motion which had been de liberately disposed of by a House consisting of 1:36 Mem bers. There was no error in putting the question. The motion was deliberately read by the SPEAKER, who de clared that the " Noes" had it ; upon which an ex-Chan cellor of the Exchequer, one of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S former colleagues, (particularly Sir EDWARD SC GDEN) exclaimed, the " Ayes " have it, and thereby chal lenged a division. Sir ROBERT PEEL however, who come down armed with authorities on the law of nations, and fully prepared with a long speech to de molish the foreign policy of the Whigs, could not believe his senses, and wished in the face of all precedent, and in contradiction to common sense, that notwithstanding the decision of the House, the debate should he renewed. We believe no debating society—no vestry—no pot-house club even, would have listened for a moment to such a mode of proceeding. In such assemblies a division settles the question for the time. Not so in the House of Commons, for at least twenty Members argued the point whether a division was worth anything, and but for Mr. BERN AL pointing out the ! mischief which would inevitably ensue, in all probability Sir.l ROBERT PEEL would have been heard. That alone was wanting to complete the climax, and the House of Corn- I mons might then be quoted as an authority in every meet ing for such a preposterous proceeding. There is one cir cumstance, however, at which all Reformers will rejoice. This scene took place in a Reformed House of Commons, but it was got up by the party who ever opposed Parlia- ! mentary Reform—by men who would have sat there I under the old rotten.borough system, whose—par- I tizans have ever been anxious to throw discredit on a Reformed House, and to laud to the skies the regularity and good order which prevailed when Old Sarum returned her two Members, and the rabble of Birmingham, and Manchester, and the Tower Hamlets, were excluded from any share in the choice of Members of Parliament. The blame of not carrying forward the discussion is wholly due to the Tories ; and the discreet impatience of the House, which would not allow the public time to be further wasted, is most creditable. The Herald, which of late has taken a most warlike tone towards the Tories, hoarsely screaming against Sir ROBERT PEEL, says that it cannot " compli ment the Cuns2.rvatives on their conduct." We agree with the Herald in most of its recent remarks on its old friends, and sincerely advise it to continue its censures of Sir RoaEnT PEE r. and the half-and-ha'f Tories. We fear t sere is little thane of success for the motion which is to be made to. night in the House of Commons by Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND, on the subject of Negro Ap prenticeship. It is . quitc clear, from the speech of Lord MELBOURNE to the Delegates who waited upon his Lord ship yesterday with a memorial, setting forth the reasons which required the immediate termination of the appren ticeship system, that the Government have made up their minds not to adopt the course recommende.l by the Dele gates, by the voice of the country, and, we may add s 'by sound policy. We are far from accusing the Government of indifference to the sufferings of the Negro population. The authors of the Abolition Act cannot be even suspected of not feeling the deepest interest in the welfare of the ap prentices ; hut we are deeply grieved to find that after the tel experience which they have had of the utter inadequacy of legislation to protect the Negro from the oppression of his master, they should still cling to legislative enactments as an effeetual remedy against a tyranny which is so inwoven in the texture of the accursed system—by what name moor it may b 3 cal!ed—that no human power can eradi *ate it, except by annihilating the system itself. We have perused the Ministerial Bill which passed the Lords and has been read a first time in the Commons, and we have TlO hesitation in saying that, could we put faith in the efficacy of any Act of Parliament to secure the humane treatment of the black population, by those who have hit'aerto set at defiance all laws, both divine and human, 'we should have little or no fault to find with the Bill. Without going into particulars at present, we may observe that it provides against the recurrence of those abuses and atrocities, the disclosure of which has of late 30 shocked the public mind. But our belief is, that until the Ethiopian change his skin, the oppressor will not cease to oppress, as long as he retains any authority over his victim. We would also call the attention of Ministers to the affects likely to be produced, should they persist in apply ing a palliative to the great evil which demands an efficient remedy. Will the country acquiesce in their measure ? We are decidedly of opinion, that it will not, and that a degree of agitation, such as has seldom if ever been sur passed will follow the refusal, on the part of the House of Commons, of th a t w hi c h i s now un i versa ll y cons id ere d as a mere set of justice—and perhaps of tardy justice—to the much injured Negro race. If we wanted any corroboration of this opinion, we find it in the resolutions—particularly the firth—unani:nously rcssed by the de!egates after their intee6o.v Lord INIELeoIIaNE yesterday, which will by tobna in another part of our paper, We, therefore, hope that the government will . j,i'fase he fore it ttii , _t a Etep which it will be eitreittly di cult to reral, and shish, cernidering the partial cmancipatlon granted by Lord SLIGO, and other beutvolent individuals) may be attended with the mnst disastrous conscqutoc;”; bith to blacks and whiten. The , resolutions to ht. Th',,; ., e(l by Lord JOHN RUSSELL on April 3O V)ible l .l he is to found his new rneAsuro for settling the question of Tithes in Irdarid, to which we yes- terday adverted, are non , ptitited., and are As rOliow t I. Tllat it ;A the opinion of thi3 Committee, that Tithe Compalition in Ireland shculd be tornmutoi into a rent- charge nt the rate of sever , tenths of their amount, to be tharg,d on tlie owner of the first estate of inhcrittitt7r. t. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that on the expiration of existing Interests, so much of such Rent-charge as shall be payable in lieu of EcelcsiaQtical Tithe, should be purchased by the State, at the rate of 16 years' purchase of the original Tithe Compolition. 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Ec clesiastical Commissioners for Ireland should be empowered, with the consent of the Incumbents, to demand from the State the purchase at the same rate of any other portion of Ecclesi astical Tithe Composition or Rent-charge, not exceeding onc- tenth of the whole amount in any one year. 4. That it is the opinion of tliis Committee, that until such Rent-charge shall be purchased or redeemed, the amount of Ecclesiastical Rent-charge and Ministers' Money, should be paid to the Incumbents from the Consolidated Fund. 4. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the ar rangement of such payments, and the invPstment of the Per chase-monies paid by the State for Ecclesiastical Rent charge, should be entrusted to the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners for Ireland, 6. That it is the o-pinion of this Committee, that the Rent charges for Ecclesiastical Tithe should be appropriated by law to certain local charges now defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, and to Education ; the surplus to form part of the Con solidated Fund. 7. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Rent. charges for Ecclesiastical Tithe and Ministers Money should be collected by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for five years, and until Parliament shall otherwise provide. 8. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that further provision should be made by law for the regulation of Eccle siastical Duties, and the better distribution of Ecclesiastical Revenues in Inland. 9. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that provision should be made for the revision of certain Tithe Compositions, where such Compositions operate with inju , tice. 10. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Rent charges for Lay Tithe should be collected by the Tithe owner, and facilities afforded for redemption upon mutual agreement between the parties. The Times, knowing the wishes and intentions of its( party, assures us that the " measure will soon be disposed of ;" and we, knowing the influence of the Protestant priest'. hood in both Houses of Parliament, must at once admit that it would be better not to waste the public time with the discussion of measures which there is no chance of completing, and which, were they completed, would neither carry out any principle, nor satisfy the people. The 'two objects proposed by the Ministers—that of giving security to the dominant and insulting Protestant Church lof Ireland, and that of satisfying the Catholic Irish—are 'obviously and plainly incompatible, and impossible to be accomplished. Lord JOHN RUSSELL may perhaps change the winds or stop the tides ; but he never will satisfy the Catholics of Ireland till their own priesthood arc placed on a complete level with the priesthood of the Protestant Establishment. Let him therefore look on this question with the eye of a statesman, as he has looked on so many others. Let him give over playing like boys at law-mak ing, and, recognizing the impossibility of both satisfying a people and imposing a Church on them, at once admit that the Protestant Church cannot be maintained in Ireland, and take measures peaceably to bring it to a close. Sir R. PEEL is just as inconsistent, and would he more mischievous, than Lord JOHN RUSSELL. His political opinions are spiced with bigotry, and he would try and give security to the Establishment in spite of the people. But he could not do that before 1829. He and the Irish Church, and the stupid penal laws, which were established to support it, were all defeated by their own inherent in justice, and by the power of the Catholics in 1829 ; and how then can he dream of giving security to that Church in opposition to justice, and to the now more powerful Catholics in IS3B ? Either Sir ROBERT should never have consented to Catholic Emancipation, or he should be pre pared to place the Catholic priesthood of Ireland com pletely on a level with the priesthood of the other Churches and sects. He convinced the Catholics of their strength, by conceding to them ; he increased and gave them the legal means of exercising their power ; their aid turned him out of office in 1835 ; the Protestant clergy have since 1829 laboured most assiduously, and most suc cessfully, to exasperate the Catholics, and inflame their animosity towards the Establishment ; and how then can he, with all these disadvantages, accomplish in 1838, what the Tories were too weak to achieve in 1829 ? It is high time the politicians of both parties opened their eyes to the facts of the case, and ceased to torment the nation by their vain efforts to maintain in Ireland their impos sible theories. With respect to the plan to be proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we hare no objection to converting the tithes into a rent-charge at the rate of seven-tenths of their amount ; but we know no reason why the land of England should be burdened with a rent-charge to the full amount of the tithes, as recently settled by the Tithe Commutation Act, and the land of Ireland, where the tithe is already two-thirds less than tithes in England, be only burdened to the extent of seven-tenths. We are not aware of any good reason for the Legislature showing favour to the landowners of Ireland. But admitting the propriety of making this large concession to the land owners, in order to procure their consent to the measure— and it must, we suppose, be paid for—the rest of the plan of collecting the rent-charge by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, that is by a Government Board, and of paying the Clergy out of the Consolidated Fund, under the control of Ecclesiastical Commissioners, is excel lent in principle, as placing the whole revenues of the Church of Ireland at the disposal of Parliament, and to enabling it, when the proper time comes, to appropriate those revenues usefully than to maintaining in the land, as at present, an ever living source of bloody discord. We have not the slightest hope, however, that any such measure will be carried through the two Houses of Parlia ment, the Members of those assemblies persisting, as we know from all experience, to hold by gross abuses, till their consent to remove then be exto;ted by a dread of the people. By the arrival of thn 31.CR111Cr, Middleton, at Falmouth from the Tagus, we have received advioes front Lisbon of the 20th inst. inclusive. The ...rttAal Wfts then as tran tptil as if the occurrente,s tli the . 7th, Bth, and 13th, had never taken pia&L After the dispersion of the refractory corps, and the dismissal of the civil Cloverher of Lisbon, no attempt was made by thz QUEEN either to get rid of the Cabinet- 4 Zir to institute further proceedings against I the: leaders of the late revolt. On the centraty Viscount SA DA BANDEIRA, in an a.ddrctA to the Cortes on the re cent disastrous events in the capital, delivered on the 15th inst., intimated that the QUEEN only waited a rness9ge from the Deputies, to accept and promulgite the new Constitution, This announcement was received with so little enthusiasm as to create an impression out of doors either that the Cortes did not believe the QUEEN to be sincere, or that they preferred to the immediate promulgation of the Constitution the conti nuance of their own political influence, and along with it their salaries as deputies. The latter supposition is coon tenanced by the fact that a promulgation of the new Con stitution would be immediately followed by a dissolution of the CLambers. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 20th instant have been received. On the 19th, a Royal Decrees ap pointed General LATRE Minister of War, in the room of General CAartATALA, whom Count OFALIA fOLIO(1 it troublesome to keep in office till Ministers could pro vide themselves with a suitable Colleague. LATRE is at the bead of a division of the Queen's army, and was on the 19th, hot in pursuit of the Carlist expedition in the direction of Palencia. On the same day, the Carlist chief BASILIO vas at Aljofrin, a village to the south of Toledo. PAR niNAs, with his division, had entered Madrid, with a view to cover the capital, should the insurgents penetrate any farther in that direction. A thousand Carlist prisoners had likewise been conveyed to Madrid, which they entered a few hours before the arrival of PARDINA'S division. There is no other news from Spain of any moment. The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received. The official columns of the /Voniteur announce TM.

He lust as fearful now as be was in 1832 of taking any step Ilely to give offence to the Great Northern Powers. In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday the Bill for the payment of the third instalment of the Greek Loaf was carried against the recommendation of the Committee by a majority of 189 votes—on:y thirty Members voting in tl'e minority. Advices had been received in Paris rektive to the des ti 'action occasioned by the overflowing of the Danube and the Oder. The details are given in our extracts from the Brussels and German Papers received this morning. Intelligence had been received in Paris on Monday, of the vast preparations now making by Russia for the subjuga tion of Circassia. The following are extracts from the Journals of Tuesday :- NEWS FROM THE FRONTIER. BAYONNE, 23d MARCH.-It was on the 15th March, that the Carlist expedition passed the Ebro, at Soucillo, not far from Reynosa; this column by a rapid march, receded from the valley of Mina, where it would have found the Chtistinos in force, and will probably advance into the Asturias, leaving Slntarder on the right. It is composed of 10 battalions, (some say 18) all Castillians, and 3 squadrons, with 4 mountain guns. It is commanded by Count Negre, an officer of the household of Don Carlos. The composition of the troops is bad. It is probable, that the expedition will not descend into tie pl dns of Old Castile, where the columns of Latre and Bo nellas might destroy it. If, as is possible, it is not well received in the Asturias, it will penetrate into Gallicia. There is not a single considerable force to oppose it from Eeynosi, which it must have passed some days ago, to the interior of Gallicia. There is no reason to apprehend that it will esta blish itself either in the Asturias or Gallicia, but it will levy contributions, massacre the young men, and hinder the levies now making for the Queen's Government. If Basilio is not destroyed, as it is hoped, it would not be impossible that the two expeditions should unite, for distance is a slight obstacle to the Carlists and the Spaniards in general, who make incre dible marches for days together.

CHURCH ENDOWMENT SCHEME.-It appears chat, while the more violent partizans of the Scotch Eg,a bliThed Church are importuning the Government for large additional endowments from the public treasury, the Scotch landed proprietors arc snugly pocketing 150,000/. per annum, originally designed to meet the contingent wants of their Cirireh ; and that, until this enormous sum he exhausted, the Scotch Established Clergy can have no decent pretext for d-manding to be permitted to finger a single additional frac tion of the national taxes.—Carlisle Patriot. TILE GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHlP.—Yester day morning an excursion was taken down the River, from B ackwall to about three miles below Gravesend, in this s r lendid vessel, for the purpose of trying her machinery, in the presence of a company of about eighty gentlemen, among whom were Major Handley, M.P., P. W. Miles, Esq., M.P., G. F. Young, Esq., Captains Austin, Oliver, Lock, and Bul lock, Oliver Lang, Esq., of Woolwich Dock-yard, and many other scientific gentlemen. Lord Wharncliffe, the Hon. J. S. Wortley, Lady Georgiana Wortley and daughter, were also among the visitors. The vessel left Blackwell about twelve o'clock, but from the state of the tide she grounded shortly afterwards, and was detained a considerable time, until the rse o 7 the tide enabled her to proceed. The average speed IVAS about eleven miles an hour, and the usual vibration expe rienced in steam-ships was scarcely perceptible, and owing to an improvement in the paddle-wheels, the swell arising from her passage through the water was so far diminished as not to he attended with the .least inconvenience or danger to boats in the River. We have already given the dimensions of this magnificent vessel. Messrs. Maudsley and Field provided a cold collation for the visitors. • SIR JAMBS GRAHAM AGAIN !—The sympathy between the rejected of _Cumberland and the rejected of Roxbureshire, is exhibited in e somewhat amusing coincidence by the Baronet, who has just got in through the kindness of another, whom he is bound to serve, presenting a petition that 'Amick may be henceforth disfranchised, or at least the poll ing-place removed from its hGundaries, because, forsooth, the men of ilawick would not elect his friend sir.

VOLUNTARY DEATITS.—III a recent article on this subje c t, publi s h e d b y a P ar i s p a per, Le Droit, it is s t ated that Inn less than 9,040 suicides have been co mmitted in France fr om t h e year 1820 to 1831 inclusively. The annual average is th ere f ore 1,808. The first of these years ga ve 1,542 cases of this so -t ; th e l as t 2 . 084.

We have an overland dispatch from India of the date of the 26th January. By this conveyance we have received BonzMy Gazettes to the 27th January. They state that " a Royal salute, on Saturday, an nounced the arrival of his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Nether lands and suite. No answer, affecting the Charter of the Bank of Bom bay, had been obtained from the Honourable COurt. The Opium sales had gone off at even lower rates than had been anticipated." By advices received from Calcutta, we learn that the whole of the f i fty. four lacy originally granted by the Company for advances on ship ments to England, was expended on the 27th ult. ; twenty.eight lacs having been taken up in December alone, principally on Indigo. The Bengal Government, calculating :on the arrival of a large supply of money from Bombay, pass: l an order on the 29th ult., for an additional grant of twenty-five lacs, the whole of which were taken up in a few hours, and would no doubt cause a rise in the Exchange. We regret to learn that the Cholera has made its appearance in the City of Nassull, and many of the natives have already fallen victims. We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 15. h March. Accounts have been received from the Havanna!), of the arrival of the prisoners sent by Baron dc Meer, they were confined on their landing, and orders had been. issued by General Jacon, for their being conveyed to the un. healthy Isle of Pinos—the Botany Bay of the Antilles. We have received Malta Papers to the 15th of February. We give the following extract : " The affairs of Syria seem still to give some uneasiness to Mehemet Ali's Government. On the 4th of February, the Minister of War (Ahmet Pasha) left Cairo, and his prompt departure for the scene of operations, it was believed, was occasioned by a rebellion among the in. habitants, and the desertion of some of the Egyptian troops—in the mean time news was received of a battle having taken place in a plain not far from Famascus, about the 17th of February, immediately after A hmet Pasha's arrival, in which he himself was severely wounded, at d three Pashas, Yacoub Bey, and five hundred men were killed, and the military chest,jatillery, and a great quantity of arms and ammunipon of the Egyptian army were captured. The revolted Druses, assisted by a few Bedouins, had caused this reverse." The most important information we have received this morning is by the Lisbon mail, which entirely contradicts the reports in circulation bite yesterday afternoon of an affray in that capital, and in which a great number of persons were killed and wounded. When the packet sailed all was tranquil there; the Ministry had been framed, and the Constitu tion adopted. Upon the whole, the news from Lisbon is of a favourable nature. The arrivals from other quarters are of minor importance. THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at 93A # for the Account, and 93A for Money, with little doing as yet.

Bribery was the order of the day at the recent Election for Sudbury and Maidstone. Some dispersed the gold more freely than others, but there was rather a want of means than of will on either side. Fifteen guineas, the well ascertained price of a vote, were given by the Tories after the Reformers showed themselves in advance on the Poll. Bribery has become far more common and audacious under the new than under the old law, and Parliament, if it profess to take care of the morals of the people, will have to interfere. What remedy can it adopt? It hasrefused to sanction the Ballot. STATE or TRADE.—The market here continues i ❑ precisely the same state as for some weeks past. The de mand for yarn is limited, and the prices exceedingly depressed, but a fair business has been doing in most descriptions of goods and prices continue steady.—Manchester Guardian. In a party, of which Porson was a guest, there was 4190 a physician, a Dr. Brocklesby, a descendant of the emi nent man who attended Dr. Johnson in his last illness. In addressing Dr. 8., Porson always called him Dr. Rock, " Yes, D r . Rock,"—" No, Dr. Rock," &c. a name rendered almost infamous by llogarth, in his picture of the " March of the Cluards.:' At length Dr. B. became offended, and said, " Mr. Poison, ray name is not Rock, it is Brocklesby," pro nouncing the syllables distinctly. " Well," said Porson, "if Brock-less -B is not Rock, I know nothing of Algebra." On Tuesday a melancholy accident occurred on the Water of Earn, about two miles east from Crieff. As a num ber of men, in the employment of the Right lion. Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, were engaged in repairing the drim‘dike at the Mill of Dorneck, ono of them, a labourer, named John Cramb, lost his footing, and fell over into the linn beneath, and was drowned. Cramb was laid hold of by one of his cotnpanions, who was only prevented from siaring the Jattio fete by laying hold of a third.—Edinburgh Courant. EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—The disturbances in this colony have materially affected emigration, and our quays, which in other years were thronged with farmers and their labourers, crowding to embark, are now completely empty.--Hull Observer. As a Manchester coach was entering Huddersfield, on Tuesday afternoon, a sailor, who was berthed on the top, and being rather "top heavy" lost his balance and fell off. ItuttAr. AFFAlRS.—Wherever the soil is at all wet, Dumfries-shire is rapidly following the example of Ayr shire, by searching for the seat of the most hidden springs, digging longitudinally at every little distance, with cross-cuts where necessary, depositing at the bottom of each drain con tinuous rows of arched and bottom tiles, as closely linked as red-coated soldiers; replacing by the spade the excavated earth, and finally covering up, so as to leave the surface as smooth as before. Thousands are employed in this way at present, who must have competed injuriously in some other department.—Dumfries Courier. ELECTION CO3METTE. (THIS DAY.)

KINSALE. The j e.othmhtee :net this morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. BALL tttilf3iff in the Chdir. Mr. TUESSIGER opened ttie for thepAitionerS, tic was happy to inform the Committee that this ingiAry oas not likely to occupy ,ouch of their time, as the whole question re solved i!5 , ?.11 into a scrutiny, the other alle g ations in the petition having been abandoned. By an arrangement entered into between the parties, it had been agreed upon that the leginry should be opened, as regarded the voters on both sides; and this .fruuld save them at least two days of a-gument, and enable them to proceed at once to the scrutiny. The first class of objections which they would have to consider ' was that of per!orn3 who had been adm tted to register by the -..5-sistant sistant banister who it appeared was rather Ide: al in his riAions reapccting the franchise—out cf the most wretched hovels' that were not worth five pounds. The next class comprised those who had left the premises out of which they claimed to vote between the t eriod of registry and the election. The election commenced on the 4th of August and termi nated or. the 7th, and at the close of the poll the numbers stood thus— Mr. Mahoney Col Thomas .. 96 M jnrity . fi The only other suLject of consideration would be the proof of the Poll-books, the sovereign or returning officer of th.! borough, ' s ho happened to bo a person opposed to them in politics, having delayed lodging them in the hands of the Town Clerk, which by the Act he was hound to do within twenty- one days after the elccion, until compelled by an application to a Magis trate. His first step, therefore, would be to establish the au thenticity of the poll-books. Mr. George Newman, Town Clerk of the Borough of Kinsale, was examined, and stated that he received the poll books, a file of objections, and an affidavit v.nifying them, from the Returning Officer, Mr. Johns, on Saturday the 26th of August. Mr. Chatterton, the Clerk of the Peace, produced the affi davits of registry for the borough of Kinsale. Mr. MESSMER said that he should now proceed with the class of objections which related to change of occupation. The first vote which he would attack was that of John Mur phy, of Higher Fisher-street, schoolmaster, registered Oct. 11, 1832, and standing 154 on the list. The Learned Gentleman having proved his case, Mr. POLLOCK said that he could not defend the vote, and it was accordingly struck off. The vote of Jeremiah Hanington, belonging to the same class, was also struck off. • CORN AVERAGES.

The quantity declared is 12,554,822 lbs. of various kinds. No serviceable opinion can be foamed yet how this article will sell. The market for Rice is flat, rather than otherwise. Rum is quiet, but very firm. By private contract there is but very little doing. For tomorrow we have advertized 10,200 bass of Mauritius Sugar, and 2,000 bags Havannah.

A numerous met,!tiog of the DAegatts was held this day. at one o'clock, fit Browne'; Coffee-house, Old Palace yard. Mr. BI.AIR was called to the Chair. Alr, STURGE said that, no doubt, the delegates had seen irr ale l-s.e.wsppers the petition passed last night, in which an al lusion wtti reside to the introduction, in the House of Commons of n motion for the tivecond reading of Lord Glenelg's Bill, with the avowed object of superseding the motion of Sir George Strickland. When that Bill 14.-a3 going through the Com mittee of the Lord.;, Lord Lyndhurst got up and suggested its% postpenethent till Lord Brougham brought forward his Lord . Olenelg stated it was important that his Bill should pass without delay, and Lord Lyndhurst then observed that if that were the ease, it must be on the distinct under standing that the vassing of Lord Glenelp,'s Bill should not interfere with that of Lord Brougham's, and on that understanding all opposition to it had been nithdrawo. After thie, understanding the Bill of Lord Glenelg was to he brought forward to-night for a second reading„n it h the avowed object of superseding Sir G. Strickland's motion in sup port of Lord Brougham's Bill. lie then moved" That as Lord Glenelg's Bill was allowed to pass through the House of Lords without opposition, on the distinct understanding that such a course should in no respect interfere with Lord Brougham's Bill for the Abolition of Apprenticeship on the Ist of August next, it is the opinion of this meeting that the Ministers, by bringing forward Lord Gle nelg's Bill for a second reading, with the avowed object of su perseding Sir George Strickland's motion, have virtually violated the original understanding."—Carried unanimously. A gentleman drew the attention of the meeting to a review which appeared in a morning paper, arid in which it was stated that the Society of Friends were implicated in the Slave-trade. The meeting were of one opinion, that such a statement was unworthy of notice. After much desultory conversation, the meeting adjourned ten o'clock to-morrow. THE ARMY. The head-quarters of the 45th Regiment landed at Gravesend from India on Saturday last, and the same day re c,..ived a route for Canterbury, where they arc to be stationed for some time. The following arc the names of the officers with it : --Lieutenant- Colonel E. F. Boys, Major Webb, Captain Macintire, Lieutenant Tench, Ensign Bates, Licut. and Adjutant Hine, Quartermaster Shoolbraid, Surgeon Sivewright, and Assistant-surgeon Bace. The ACia7o7l, 26, just returned from South America, is to be commissioned to take out troops to Canada. Three transports are now fitting up at Deptford for the conveyance of the cavalry intended for Canada, but it would he difficult to say how soon they may be completed, when we take into consideration the character for delay which the transport department enjoys. It is reported that Sir John Keane is to be transferred to the 31st Regiment, vacant by the death of the gallant Sir E.. Barnes ; and that Sir William Johnston, formerly of the 6Sth Light Infantry, will be nominated to that regiment, 'vice Keane. No successor has yet been named for the 26th, in the room of the late Earl of Dalhousie. There certainly will be a brevet at the Coronation, and, in consequence, Sir George Teesdale does not assume the co f or mand of the Queen's Dragoon Guards , under orders Canada, the troops now going out being more an army of ob s!rvation than for active service. Sir J. C. Dalbiac has arrived in London from Dublin, after inspecting the cavalry intended for Canada. Wl.en the Lucifer steamer recently came in contact Wth an American vessel at Liverpool, a very melancholy accident occurred to Captain Brooke of the Ist Royals, wh ° , vies so much injured by the collision as to leave no hopes c" Lis recovery, having had both his legs broken and his s kull fractured. The unfortunate officer is nephew to Major- Sir Sir Arthur Brooke, and is also related to Lady Vivian. The Hon. Col. Cathcart, who left London for Canada. with despatches early in January, had not arrived when the last accounts left. No successor has yet been named to Sir James Macdonell in the command of the northern district in Ireland.—lllorn in9 Pawr. -------- ----- It is confidently asserted that a. marriage is in con templation between Lord Arundel, the Noble possessor of Warduur Castle, and one of the lovely daughters of Lord Stourton. LOSS OF THE ELVIRA INDIAMAN.—We regr,et, to state that this fine vessel , for Calcutta , which left this boutsport on Friday last, in tow of a steam - boat , havin g on boa t - .0 a cargo estimated, we believe, at 80,0001., struck on the ward bar in the new channel.
